The Highland Community Waste Partnership ran between April 2022 – March 2025. Funded by the National Lottery Climate Action Fund and coordinated by Keep Scotland Beautiful, this project brough together eight community groups in the Highlands to reduce waste and promote more sustainable consumption.

All the information on these pages was correct until the end of the Highland Community Waste Partnership project i.e. 31st March 2025, but is unlikely to be updated following that.
Composting Support
Lochaber Environmental Group have been providing support to Lochaber residents and our communities via training, workshops and compost bin provision for many years now. As part of the Highland community Waste Partnership this support is continuing.
Support is available for Home Composting and for Community Composting. Further information is available from this page, with links to Home Composting, Community and Business Composting, and background of Spirit of the Soil.
